Hi COPI Teammates!

I’m a 58 year old Lutheran pastor from Sandy, Utah. I’ve been on several mission trips, but never to Vietnam. Our congregation loves and supports COPI and binh.

Besides working with our wonderful congregation, I teach theology and help train pastors. I write books, and do all that intense academic stuff.

For fun, I spend time with my three adult children and four grandchildren. I’ve been skiing a lot this season (43 half-days and 860K vertical feet). When not skiing or working, I hike and — get ready — I dance. I’ve enjoyed ballroom dancing for many years. My nickname is “TangoJames.”

I look forward to meeting and encouraging you all.

James
